ordering paranoia

Hey all first off I really appreciate this forum, everyone seems helpful, and knows there shit. that being said I couldn't find a great answer for this question.

I plan on ordering grow equip for a small personal grow from an ebay store. I will use a prepaid card (PREPAID WITH CASH) to order. my questions are, (1) should I be worried about ordering 1 light kit and 1 fan from the same place? (2)should I ship to my house/garden spot? and if no how do I send this somewhere and not let anyone know what it is...its not like it is just a seed envelope.(3) I already have a separate email/ebay/rollitup set up for this need, but should I use a library computer to order or can I use my laptop at home? I may be over cautious, but I figure better to be cautious than caught for a small personal use garden.

happy trails...

Hydro equipment can be used for growing anything, it is not illegal to buy. So no you shouldn't be worried and yes you should order to your home and in my opinion you should also purchase a good quality carbon filter if you haven't already :)

Big easy I am not thay ascared but just wanted to make sure I didn't make a stupid mistake before the wheels are even off the ground. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't sending up red flags by orderi ng.

Letsgetcritical I am not super worried about stink. It's going right outside and will have a scrubber on it. Even if the scrubber takes out 50% I'm good. My neighbor hood is backed up to woods and a farm so wired smells r common. :bigjoint: thanx for putting me at ease

Library computer would be the worst thing you could do. Pretty sure they log those, plus you have no control over the data you leave on it, unlike a computer at home.
Don't tell, don't sell, don't smell. Do this and you'll have no worries.

Don't know where your located but usually there are hydro stores or agricultural stores that most all this could be purchased at with good old cash. All of the above are good answers as well.

In MO they stake out the hydro stores, or they have in the past. I'd love to visit one just to see what all the hoopla is about but I don't dare. Just a heads up in case they do it where you live.
If something makes you uneasy, find a different way to do it. You'll have enough to worry about just keeping your plants alive until harvest. :cool:

Watching people at the hydro store? Doubt it dudes. what you guys are suggesting is a cop is sitting outside watching the grow store. Then hes going to follow you home. then hes going to watch your house for five months and catch you with maybe some bud maybe tomatoes? @tom slick E bay probably has cheaper stuff but you get what you pay for. 1 don't be worried go ahead and order both 2 send it to your house 3 use your own computer

I agree, no one is watching a grow store. It would be a severe misuse of resources and time. Are they gunna go visit every customer that goes to the store? Pretty sure they don't keep addresses and those kinds of records at hydro stores. Not to mention they would need to get warrants for way to many things without any just cause. There is nothing illegal or wrong with buying horticultural equipment. Don't believe the hype!

Instead of eBay this is a good site to order off not for stealth reasons but for price wise and equipment I found it good.

Today I just received more seeds in the mail to my address from-http://www.herbiesheadshop.com
Payed for stealthiest option/shipping, all went well once again and seeds were hidden stealthy. Highly recommend. Good luck :)

They are watching the hydro stores! Wait, not the cops. Nevermind...

Seriously though. Went to the local hydro store with a friend who drives a very nice car. Some sketchy ass dudes followed us out of there. We just juiced through a few of the inner neighborhoods till we lost them. Either way though, shits crazy. They could have easily followed us to my place if I wasn't always on high alert. I think it was the flashy car, I usually walk most places. Everybody be careful of sketchy humans lurking around hydro shops!

And ordering grow equipment online is cool homie.
